WeTransfer, a Netherlands-based internet file transfer service, was facing a significant challenge with its SaaS applications. The company had grown exponentially, and with this growth came a sprawl of different applications acquired by various departments. With over 200 paid SaaS applications, the company was struggling with integration across the business, leading to duplicate and manual efforts in many departments, including finance, HR, and sales. The company had no dedicated team for corporate systems integration, and the ad-hoc acquisition of many tools led to poor interaction between them. This was particularly problematic for the finance department, which had spent hundreds of hours over two and a half years building an internal set of tools and integration between Salesforce and NetSuite, which did not work properly. This resulted in many hours of manual data entry every month, delayed financial book closures, and incomplete billing cycles.

WeTransfer turned to Celigo for a solution to their integration challenges. They chose Celigo over other options like Boomi and Mulesoft due to its powerful functionality, ease of setup and use, intuitive design, and library of prebuilt integrations. Celigo's pricing model was also a deciding factor, as it allowed WeTransfer to connect multiple endpoints without paying per flow. The team first tackled the Salesforce-NetSuite integration challenge, using Celigo's guided implementation program. The success of this integration led to the expansion of Celigo's use to many other areas in the business, including fulfillment data integrations, data warehouse, Stripe, Paypal, and more. The team expanded to an additional 12 endpoints, including additional data warehousing and project management use cases. With Celigo, WeTransfer was able to automate data from a data warehouse without the need for a data engineer.

The implementation of Celigo's integration solution had a significant impact on WeTransfer's operations. The successful Salesforce-NetSuite integration not only automated the complete Quote-to-Cash process but also accelerated the time to close financial books. This reduced the need for manual data entry, allowing the revenue accountant to focus on core tasks in the finance department and work with sales operations on process improvements. The sales teams also had access to the invoice and payment status data in Salesforce, a functionality they had been requesting for two years. More importantly, the implementation of Celigo reduced the risk posed by the ad-hoc systems, allowing the company to demonstrate high-quality data flows between sales and finance to auditors, reducing financial statement risks.
